Post Cards From America
DISCOVER AMERICA THROUGH POSTCARDS is the result of a former teacher
and photographer who followed their dream. Both quit their
jobs in 1997, bought a RV and took off to discover America. They
knew friends and family would demand postcards, so they decided to
save time and send them on the Internet. Then they realized, "Why
not send them to anyone who's interested?" Today over 200,000
children around the world are receiving "live-at-the-scene"
postcards, as they too discover America. This is ranked in the Top
100 Educational Sites. ~Holly
